"The economic outlook in Saudi Arabia remains favorable. Growth above 4 percent is expected in 2014 and 2015, led by government spending and robust private sector activity.

Risks around this growth outlook are evenly balanced. Inflation is likely to remain subdued."

"Saudi Arabia continues to play a systemic role in stabilizing the global oil market, which contributes positively to the global economy. Regionally,Saudi Arabia is a generous provider of financial assistance to other countries,while remittances sent home by expatriates working in the country are an important source of income for many countries."
